’splore is a personal side project, offered free, exactly as
it is. By using it you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please
do not use it.
What This Is, and What It Is Not
’splore compares travel destinations on climate, landscape, and other
characteristics. It is a research and browsing toy built for personal use and
shared as a courtesy.
’splore is served from
duavecito.daveponet.workers.dev — an earlier name for the same
project, and still its address.
It is not a travel agency, a booking service, a tour operator, an
insurer, or an advisor of any kind. Nothing on it is professional advice. It is
not travel advice, not legal advice, not safety advice, not medical advice, and
not financial advice. No relationship of any kind is created by your using it.
Accuracy, and Why You Must Not Rely on It
Much of what is shown is modelled or estimated, not measured.
Temperatures come from reanalysis on a coarse grid and are known to run cold
along coastlines. Climate figures are averages of the past; they are not a
forecast and say nothing about what the weather will do on your dates. Travel
times, opening hours, prices, sea temperatures, and descriptions may be
incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong.
Safety information especially. This site shows where same-sex
activity is criminalized, drawn from a third-party source. It is included
because it matters, not because it is authoritative, and it may be
incomplete, out of date, or wrong.
Verify anything that bears on your safety, your
liberty, or your health against an official primary source before you
travel. Do not make a decision that matters on the strength of this site
alone.
No undertaking is given that any figure, name, date, link, or description is
correct, current, or complete.
Provided As Is, With No Warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. ALL WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
There is no promise that the service will be available, uninterrupted,
secure, timely, or error-free, that any defect will be corrected, or that it
will continue to exist at all.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT
BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED TO YOUR USE OF,
OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE. THIS INCLUDES DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND INCLUDES WITHOUT
LIMITATION LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, LOST PROFITS, WASTED EXPENDITURE, TRAVEL
COSTS, MISSED TRAVEL, AND ANY INJURY, LOSS, OR HARM SUFFERED WHILE TRAVELING.
THIS APPLIES EVEN IF THE OPERATOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, the operator’s total
aggregate liability for all claims is limited to one hundred US dollars
(US$100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts
of the two sections above may not apply to you. In that case they apply as far
as the law allows.
Your Account and Your Data
Sign-in is handled by Google. You are responsible for your own Google
account and for anything done through it on this site.
Keep nothing here you cannot afford to lose. Saved places may be
lost, reset, or deleted at any time, through fault, accident, or ordinary
maintenance, and no backup is promised. Your account may be suspended or
removed at any time, for any reason or for none, without notice.
What is collected and how it is handled is set out in the
Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
Suggesting a Place
Anyone with an account can suggest a place. By sending one, you give permission
for it, and for what you wrote about it, to be used to research and describe the
place on this site — quoted, edited, summarised, or not used at all.
There is no obligation to review a suggestion within any particular time, to add
it, to explain a decision, or to credit you. A suggestion may be declined or
removed for any reason or for none.
Only send what you have the right to share. Do not paste somebody else’s
writing or photographs, and do not include anybody’s personal information.
Acceptable Use
Do not use the service unlawfully. Do not attempt to reach another
person’s account or data, attack or overload the service, probe it for
vulnerabilities, scrape it wholesale, or misrepresent it as your own or as
something official.
Other People’s Content
Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under their own licenses and are
credited on each card. Map tiles are supplied by Esri and its data providers.
Destination information draws on UNESCO and other public sources.
That material remains the property of its owners and is governed by their
terms, not these. None of those organizations endorses, sponsors, or is
affiliated with this site. If you own material shown here and want it
removed, write to hello@splore.life and it will
be taken down.
Changes, and Ending the Service
The operator reserves the right to change, replace, or withdraw these
terms and the Privacy Policy at any time, at its
sole discretion, and without notice. A revised version takes effect as soon
as it is posted here, and the date at the top changes with it. Continuing to
use the site after a change means you accept the version then posted. If you do
not accept it, stop using the site.
The service itself may likewise be changed, restricted, suspended, or shut
down entirely at any time, for any reason or for none, without notice and
without liability.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United
States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from
or connected to these terms or the service shall be brought exclusively in the
state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal
jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
